We’ve been stoked about the upcoming film Kick-Ass 2 but one person that isn’t so excited is one of the film’s stars, Jim Carrey. Turns out, he supported the film when he was actually filming and now he’s standing on the opposite side.

The reasoning behind Jim pulling his support for KA 2 is due to the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. “I did Kick-Ass a month [before] Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence,” he tweeted. “I meant to say my apologies to others [involved] with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart.”

Find out what people behind the film had to say about Jim's comments after the jump!

Quentin Tarantino and violence go together like peanut butter and jelly. In fact, he’s never made a movie that isn’t soaked in blood and mayhem. From the badass assassins in Pulp Fiction to the sword-slinging Bride in Kill Bill, pretty much nobody out-kills Quentin Tarantino.

So it’s no surprise, then, that he doesn’t think there’s any correlation between on-screen bloodshed and the off-screen massacres that have been plaguing our nation for more than a decade with increasing frequency. In the wake of the Newtown shootings, Django Unchained has taken more flack than it usually might for its extreme violence (and some for its revisionist depiction of slavery). In a recent interview with NPR, Quentin had finally had enough.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, gathered up a who’s who in Hollywood to get Americans to listen up and demand a change when it comes to gun violence. Following the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in Newtown, CT on December 14th, the celebs ask one question: how many more?

Thematically, Ke$ha’s first Warrior single doesn’t have any more to do with the tragic events that occurred in Newtown, Connecticut last week than One Direction’s “Live While We’re Young.” It’s just another celebration of seizing the day while we can. But given its provocative title, the single has seen a steep decline in radio play since Friday.

The country is still mourning the loss of the 26 victims -– 20 children and six adults -– that were killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT last Friday. While Saturday Night Live did go on with their scheduled show, they first paid tribute to the victims in a touching -- and distinctly non-comedic -- way.

Instead of opening with a comedic sketch, the members of the New York City Children’s Chorus sang "Silent Night" in front of the live studio audience. After finishing, they yelled out “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” keeping the tradition alive.
